At this moment, Xiao Hei had already left.
Yun Xi alone at the entrance of the Sorcerer Association headquarters, caught in a dilemma.
The two guards outside the door remembered that Yun Xi had come here with Eliza Xing not long ago. One of them stepped forward and wanted to invite her in.
But Yun Xi waved her hand and ultimately chose to leave.
Since Eliza has said that, there must have been an accident at the Sorcerer Association headquarters. Given her limited strength, she wouldn't be able to help much by going there, so she shouldn't cause Eliza any trouble.
Excluding the few days they spent traveling from the eerie forest to this place, the Disguise Rune's effect can last for about 20 days, so Yun Xi is not in a hurry.
She chose to stay at a suitable, albeit strange, hotel nearby.
In order to successfully check into the eerie inn, Yun Xi went to the relevant shops and killed eerie creatures in the eerie forest to collect the loot dropped by the monsters. She then exchanged this loot for some currency used in the eerie world—monster crystals that exuded a strong eerie aura.
If I hadn't already learned the Purification Technique and could purify myself every day, spending all my time in this eerie place, I might have been corrupted and become eerie myself.
To minimize contact with the eerie aura, Yun Xi wore gloves before taking the crystals, which emitted a strong eerie aura, and checked into a small to medium-sized inn.
After settling in, Yun Xi did not rest, but continued to stroll around, wanting to learn about the situation in the Vengeful Ghost Domain.
As she walked into a small grocery store, her eyes were drawn to a pile of strange items.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be some contaminated Guangming series books and other items.
The clerk at this general store is a voluptuous snake Snake Woman. If you ignore her snake head and only look at her graceful figure, she would definitely captivate a large number of people.
Seeing Yun Xi's curiosity about these items, the Snake Woman stepped forward and enthusiastically introduced them, "Guest, you've just arrived in our Vengeful Ghost Domain, haven't you? These are all specialties of our Vengeful Ghost Domain and Demons!"
The Snake Woman's voice was clear and melodious. She pointed at the pile of Light series supplies, smiled contemptuously, and said, "However, it's more accurate to call them heritage than local specialties. These are all things left behind by the Temple of Light. If you're interested, you can take a look."
Yun Xi nodded.
Xiao Hei's words were true; this region was indeed once a subordinate force of the Temple of Light. However, those who practiced the Light series of spells and were orthodox Light successors have now become strange...
The items from the Radiant series, once considered treasures, are now abandoned like junk in this small general store, where they are marked with extremely low prices.
"I want to buy these and sell them in Outland."
Upon hearing this, the Snake Woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Guest, these are just ordinary items. There are even better ones in the shop. Would you like to take a look? I have a luminous treasure here that remains uncorrupted even in such a dense and eerie environment."
Yun Xi was immediately intrigued upon hearing this, but her vigilance remained. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No, I don't have that much money to buy treasures. I want to take these things out of the Mysterious Realm and earn some pocket money outside."
"Oh? You mean you want to sell yourself to human society?"
This time, Yun Xi didn't hesitate and nodded decisively. After all, it would be too fake to say that she wouldn't sell to humans.
"I can also use these things as bait to capture some humans." Yun Xi smiled and gave her answer according to the logic of the supernatural beings.
Naturally, the Snake Woman no longer doubted and simply packed it up for her.
The Snake Woman seemed very happy to be able to pack up and sell these junk items, and even gave Yun Xi a low-level Storage Bag for free, packed the supplies, and handed it to her.
Yun Xi left and returned to her residence. She opened the system interface to check if Eliza had any other news, but there was still no word from him.
She glanced again in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and only after confirming that there was no movement did she begin to examine the Brightness series items she had bought from the general store.
Yun Xi examined each of the supplies using her Appraisal Skill. Apart from some equipment that was in a semi-dead state and the books in the Light series, there were only three items that still had value.
One of the short swords, emitting a faint glow, had its hilt tainted by eerie energy, giving it a strange, dark black color. Yet, its blade constantly emitted a faint, lingering light, seemingly displaying its past glory and honor.
The first item was an oval-shaped object about the size of a fist, completely black as ink, with a smooth and delicate surface, without any flaws.
The last item is a badge belonging to the Temple of Light. It is made of pure gold and inlaid with a brilliant gemstone. The front of the badge is engraved with the symbol of the Temple of Light —a dazzling sun.
[Sword of Radiance (Legendary): Forged from a ray of divine light fused with mithril, imbued with 20 points of Spirit Attribute, and enhances Light Element Sorcery attack by 30%.][Durability: 25%]
[Unknown Seed: Contains a large amount of Power of Light; its function is unknown.]
[Light Emblem LV30: Identification of a member of the Temple of Light.]
First is the Sword of Radiance. Although its hilt is blackened, its blade is not actually contaminated.
With just a few simple Purification Technique, the contamination on its hilt can be removed.
You could say that Yun Xi got a bargain.
Presumably, the person who casually sold these supplies to the general store noticed the strange energy contamination on the sword hilt and simply categorized it as junk without any careful examination.
Of course, it's also possible that because of this equipment, they have become strange beings and are unable to use it at all.
The Sword of Radiance is a legendary piece of equipment that not only increases Spirit Attribute by 20 points, but also enhances Light-type spell attack by 30%.
Yun Xi herself also possessed a legendary piece of equipment, the Jade Tree Staff, a gift from Yu Nanfei.
While both increase the Spirit Attribute by 10 points, the increase in spell attack is only 15%, but it applies to all spells, unlike the Sword of Radiance, which is limited to Light Element Sorcery attacks.
The only regret is that the Sword of Radiance has very little durability left, only 25%.
The first item, the Unknown Seed, was also covered with a faint layer of contamination. However, it was merely dust and contamination adhering to its surface, and the strange energy did not penetrate it at all.
Even with Yun Xi's LV20 Appraisal Skill and Black Mist Stone Earring's LV30 Information Extraction Technique, they could only obtain this much information.
It's conceivable that its level is likely even higher than the Sword of Radiance, but we don't know exactly what it's used for.
